x/m = kP^, where x = mass of gas adsorbed, m = mass of adsorbent, P = pressure, k and n are constants (n > 1). Logarithmic form: log = log k + log P. Plot of log vs log P: straight line with slope = 1/n and intercept = log k. At low pressure: x/m is proportional to P . At high pressure: x/m approaches constant . Freundlich isotherm fails at very high pressures (doesn't predict saturation properly). Valid only over limited pressure range.
